Does anybody know how they work for baby milk, when my boys were little a milk token intitled u to 7 pints of milk of a tin of baby milk. But they say clearly on then that they are worth £3.10 and a tin of baby milk is loads more than that. Was wondering if maybe they are bigger now and last maybe 2 weeks so u pay for them with 2 milk tokens.

Im hopin to BF so hopefully i wont need to know for a while at least but wanted to get a tin in just incase.

You get so many Healthy Start Vouchers a week towards cows milk, formula and fruit&veg.

I'm pretty sure you can use 2 vouchers towards a box of formula and an opened box of formula lasts 4 weeks (Aptamil and Cow&Gate does)

After you have had baby you will get two tokens a week! So if you are buying formula you can use them on that if the formula is slightly more than the £6.20 you can just pay the difference

It used to be milk tokens but they are now called healthy start vouchers and include fruit and veg aswell as milk hun!

Hiya,
You get 2 x £3.10 vouchers a week for the first year of having a baby and then it drops to 1 x £3.10 a week. They send the vouchers through on a monthly basis and you can claim vouchers for yourself while you are pregnant (from 10 weeks onwards).

I get £3.10 for Kieran and £3.10 for myself each week - never drank so much milk - lol

How do you get them - is it means tested? I'm on working tax and child credits but work part time, wonder where you get them from? God I spend about £2 a day on fruit alone, I like pineapple and strawberries but so pricey as they say every little helps!
